Important noticeabout Zellige coloursThe colours on the screen are indicative, don’t hesitate to ask for samples. The essence and characteristic of Zellige tiles is the variation in tones and transparency of colours, as well as variation in texture and surface finish.

What is Zellige? Zellige tiles are traditionally handcrafted with non-refined natural clay extracted from the Fez region in Morocco. The clay is kneaded with water, moulded by hand, dried naturally and fired in a kiln. Glass enamel is then applied to the surface of the raw tile called “biscuit”, in multiple semi-transparent shades creating a pearlescent, metallic, volcanic or opaque finish.
Zellige, also known as Zilij or Zelij, is characterised by variations of tone, shine, flatness, transparency and depth of the glazing as well as a surface texture with irregularities. Each Zellige tile is unique.
